Philips推出的是199美元的DH-401S,Lite-on推出的是200美元的HD-A2s,这是我们目前所见的蓝光DVD光驱中最便宜的,它们都以SATA为接口,4倍的蓝光DVD读取,12倍速的单面DVD读取,以及8倍速的单面双层DVD读取及DVD±RW,在CD读取上则有32倍速,虽然它不包含蓝光DVD刻录功能,但这样梦幻的价格,恐怕还是会让玩家掏腰包来High一下吧!
All the action in the next-gen format war might be at the front lines of cut-rate players, but the battle rages on across the entire spectrum of devices -- which is why we've seen the poor $199 DH-401S BD-ROM drive from Philips and Lite-on touted as the answer to those $200 HD-A2s in a couple places. That's quite a stretch, obviously, but it's still much cheaper than any other BD-ROM drives we've seen. The read-only SATA drive pulls data off BD media at 4X, single layer DVDs at 12X, DVD-DL and DVD±RW at 8x, and CDs at 32X. Giving up write capabilites is obviously limiting, but for those of you building out HTPCs, this bad boy might be just the ticket.
